Young Thomas Hardy

by Robert Gittings

Published 23 February 1978
Highly praised for John Keats (also available in Penguin Classic Biography), Robert Gittings repeats his success with this biography of the young Thomas Hardy - the first for a quarter of a century - cutting through the speculations and half-truths to give an outstanding and evocative account of the crucially important first thirty-five years of one of England's greatest novelists and poets.
